comet-hotfix

comet-hotfix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rpamis/comet. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,313 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A short workflow for fixing a bug in existing software. It opens the task, builds the fix, checks the cause, verifies the result, and archives the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps handle focused hotfixes, usually involving a small number of files, and confirms the fix before closing the task.
Why use it?
It reduces process overhead for small, predictable fixes that do not need new features, interface changes, or architecture changes.

About the project

Comet is a resumable workflow and skill platform for coding tasks, covering requirements work as well as skill creation, evaluation, and release. It supports separate Native and Classic workflows and can coordinate implementation and verification across isolated Git worktrees. The catalogue contains skills and instructions that implement Comet-related workflows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

comet-hotfix scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 205 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Comet Preset Path: Hotfix

Quick bug fix workflow: open → build → verify → archive. Skip brainstorming and full plan, applicable for behavior fixes not involving new capability design.

Applicable conditions (all must be met):

  1. Fix bugs in existing functionality, no new capability
  2. No interface changes or architecture adjustments
  3. Change scope is predictable (usually ≤ 2 files)

Not applicable: If fix process discovers need for architecture adjustments, should upgrade to full /comet workflow.


Process (preset workflow, 6 steps)

0. Output Language Constraint

Streamlined OpenSpec artifacts must use the language of the user request that triggered this workflow.

Execution chain: open → build → root cause check → verify → archive. Hotfix provides default decisions for each phase: streamlined open, direct build, root cause confirmation, scale-based verification, and final archive confirmation after verification passes.

Locate Comet scripts before starting:

COMET_ENV="${COMET_ENV:-$(find . "$HOME"/.*/skills "$HOME/.config" "$HOME/.gemini" -path '*/comet/scripts/comet-env.sh' -type f -print -quit 2>/dev/null)}"
if [ -z "$COMET_ENV" ]; then
  echo "ERROR: comet-env.sh not found. Ensure the comet skill is installed." >&2
  return 1
fi
. "$COMET_ENV"

1. Quick Open (preset open)

Reuse Comet open capability to create change, but use hotfix defaults: do not execute openspec-explore long exploration, directly enter streamlined change creation.

Immediately execute: Use the Skill tool to load the openspec-new-change skill. Skipping this step is prohibited.

After the skill loads, follow its guidance to create streamlined artifacts:

  • proposal.md — problem description + root cause analysis + fix goal (no solution comparison needed)
  • design.md — fix solution (one is enough, no multi-solution comparison needed)
  • tasks.md — fix task list
  • No delta spec needed (unless fix changes existing spec acceptance scenarios)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
